Elsie and Phil on a Highfields Bridge

We went for a walk to Highfields today a public green space in the grounds of Nottingham University

Whenever we walk in the park I do a photo with my whippet on the bridge over the lake.

I've had shots with Ruby (our previous whippet) and also some with Elsie .

Here's me and Elsie posing on the bridge for Jane ( I set the camera up and then say 'click away')

It was dark and shot on 'high ISO', which I assume means my hair looks very grey !

Don't you love the green stonework?

Such a lovely shot in a well chosen scene! So much green growing on all sort of places after such damp winter !

[Carole Sandford]

A lovely shot of the two of you. There is similar stone work around the Carilon, in Queens Park, Loughborough.

[Allison Williams]

A very strong image. I love the mellow colors and the direct gazes from you and Elsie.

[Peter Dulis]

You were made for each other ;)

Nice shot of you two pals out for a stroll.

[Dione Giorgio]

You make a fantastic couple - you and Elsie I mean. Well done to Jane for taking this lovely capture of you both together.

[Corinne C]

Jane did an outstanding job, the composition is fabulous and the colors wonderful. Elsie seems a little curious about Jane. I do love the green stone bridge!

[Renee Salamon]

Stonework is gorgeous, and lovely capture - you both are great posers 😉

[Elyse Klemchuk]

I agree with Beryl - this is a lovely picture and setting!

[Helen Jane]

[Judith Johnson]

I recognised you on the popular page! Great shot Phil

HI everyone , thank you for all your great comments. I forgot to mention in my narrative that during the walk I blagged some free "Domino Pizza" slices. As we walked towards the Uni' buildings Jane noticed that lots of students had Domino's bags and many were eating pizza. I asked a young student on a bench what was happening and she said a promotion / giveaway was taking place inside the students union ! So Jane sent me in and I had a walk around the building ! Student Unions have changed a bit since I was a student (it is a long time ago I hasten to add) .... hairdressers, restaurants, cafe's , coffee shops , chill out zones , a big shop , showers , quiet zones , clothes shop , Uni branded goods shop and eventually I joined a queue for free pizza slices !!! I scanned a QR code and got a QR code for a free pizza .... Can I have one for my wife outside please ? ... Jane is coeliac so couldn't actually eat the pizza , but she did eat some of the topping and I ate the rest and Elsie stole some !!!
